Decodes `buf` to a string according to the specified character encoding in
`encoding`. `start` and `end` may be passed to decode only a subset of `buf`.
If a byte sequence in the input is not valid in the given `encoding` then
it is replaced with the replacement character `U+FFFD`.

The maximum length of a string instance (in UTF-16 code units) is available
as [`buffer.constants.MAX_STRING_LENGTH`][].
